AN: Ok, I don't know if anyone caught on but I had skipped CH6 by mistake. Now I have fixed that mistake, in order to do that I had to re-post this chapter. Read ch6 to get the missing chapter.

Broken Trust chapter 8

Jason sat on the sofa alone now, with his mind going a mile a minute. He didn't know what to do next. Nothing made sense anymore. But he knew what he couldn't do, he could never get away from Sam. And he didn't want to. Courtney walked in, a big smile on her face. All Jason could think was, what happened? When did everything become so wrong.

" What's wrong?" Courtney asked as she walked closer to the sofa.

Jason looked at her.

Everyday you're on my mind
Pain is feeling passing time
But if she found out about you she would die
And if I have to live without you so would I
So I thirst for the water
I find myself wanting now

" It's nothing." Jason said with the best smile he could make. The deep pain in his chest made him realize something, something deep. He would always want Sam but he loved Courtney, she was in wife. Here lay the problem. "I have something I need to take care of." he said as he rose from the sofa. "I'll be back soon.

Sam paced around her apartment. It was late and the sky was dark. Sage came over hours ago and was now asleep in the extra bedroom.

Sam couldn't sleep. She couldn't stop thinking of what happened just a couple of hours ago. As her legs grew tiered from standing so long, she sat down on the sofa.

-

" Don't say anything." Sam said before she kissed him. The kiss was intense and strong. The anger and pain she felt the last couple of days were released into that kiss.

Jason didn't pull away from her. He pulled her closer. Sam was soon pinned against the front door. In that moment everything seemed to fade away. Nothing else was alive except them, nothing else mattered.

So I'm running away to you
I cannot escape you
To feel your touch
The faith you prove
I'm running away to you

Sam ran her hand down the side of his face. She had her eyes closed, so much emotion flooded her system. At the same time she wanted to cry and laugh. Never wanting the moment to end because what happened once it did? The moment she dreamt about the last couple of days. Being in his arms again.

-

Sam wanted to slap herself for not being able to stop the tears that came. She wanted to be in control but she couldn't. she wondered what would happen now. What would he do. The thought of never kissing him, touching him again was all too much to take.

He's married, she shouldn't think of this but she couldn't help it. It couldn't end today, today couldn't be the last time she kiss him. "This was never suppose to happen. I shouldn't have left. I knew what I wanted. I shouldn't have guessed I would always have him." she said to herself.

Sam looked around. Sage was old enough to be left alone. Lorenzo left her alone all the time. Sam grabbed her keys and left the apartment. The air seemed disturbed, not right somehow, she thought. All her sense became on full alert. She looked around, every inch of her surroundings. Nothing seemed out of place but that didn't necessarily mean anything.

She began to walk, listening. Someone else was around, that she was sure. She walked and walked, waiting for someone to make their move. She neared the pier.

" Hey." Jason said, grabbing her arm.

Sam jumped and looked into his eyes. "Were you following me?" she asked.

" No, I just came off the stairs." Jason explained, seeing the worry in her dark eyes. "Was someone following you?" he asked.

" No, I guess it's just my mind playing tricks." Sam explained. Realizing he was standing in front of her. The man who wouldn't stop invading her thoughts. "What are you doing here?" she asked.

Hearts are never made of stone
Pain will cut you to the bone
But I know that holding you is all so wrong
So tonight's the last we'll ever be alone
So I thirst for the water
I find myself wanting now

" I needed to see you." Jason said. "I couldn't just leave what happened at that. I think we need to talk." he suggested. He felt he needed to talk or all his thoughts would slowly kill him.

Sam felt that knot in her stomach and throat again. "So talk." nothing scared her, except her feeling for him. What he would say next.

" I love my wife." Jason softly said.

Sam wasn't sure if she could hold her tears in this time. She couldn't listen to his love for another woman. The last thing she wanted to do was have this talk. "Jason...I can't---"

Jason had to cut her off. "But I love you too." he said. Needing to admit it before it was too late. But it was already too late right? Because he moved on. He should've told her before.

Sam was shocked. She looked up at him with her glossy eyes. "What did you say?" she whispered. She wondered if this was a dream, she had this dream before. But she never felt this pain in the dream.

" We knew each other for so long, I couldn't not feel for you. I thought if I moved on, my feelings would just go away but lately I've been thinking about you. Before you came back into town then when I saw you at Kelly's. Everything I felt became stronger." Jason explained.

So I'm running away to you
I cannot escape you
To feel your touch
The faith you prove
I'm running away to you

" So what now?" Sam asked.

" You could tell me how you feel. Tell me if I just made an ass out of myself." Jason said.

Sam let out a small laugh. "How I feel? I'm madly in love with you and I think apart of me always has been. I kept thinking if I just push it all away, I could be your friend and be ok with you being married. But that wasn't working. We haven't been friends. We've been fighting so that made what I felt worse because I didn't have you in anyway." she explained as the need for air became strong because she couldn't really breathe.

" Why didn't you tell me?" Jason asked.

" What would you have done?" Sam asked. "Jason you're right, we're two different people. This is stupid. We're in love with each other but we can never be together." she explained.

Jason knew what she meant but at that moment he didn't care. "I can't hurt myself or Courtney anymore. It's not working. I'm going to ask her for a divorce. I know a lot stands in our way but I don't want to lose you again Sam." he explained, his eyes never leaving hers. He had no idea what came next but this all needed to be said. Keeping it to their self's is what got them in the mess they were in now.

Turn around fill my eyes with you

All sense to commit

Till everything's all right.

"I don't want to lose you either." Sam said. "So what happens next?"
